Abstract EN
Objective/background.
This is a case presentation of a primary multifocal monomorphic and pleomorphic adenoma, with possible association with myotonic dystrophy.
Methods/presentation.
The patient was a 36-year old woman with myotonic dystrophy with multiple left parotid masses.
Biopsy and final pathology demonstrated discrete de novo pleomorphic and monomorphic adenomas.
Conclusions/impact.
There is increasing investigation into association between myotonic dystrophy and neoplasia, including salivary gland tumors.
Here we present a patient with multiple parotid neoplasms and discuss this unique case in regards to the risk of tumors in patients with muscular dystrophy
